This results provide useful implications for decreasing stress, improving mindfulness, and increasing life satisfaction among university students.

오늘날 학생들은 미래 사회인으로써의 준비를 위해 개인역량 개발, 학업성적, 대인관계, 취업준비, 영어공부 등으로 스트레스를 받고 있다. 학생들의 스트레스는 마음의 안정을 저해하고, 삶의 만족감을 악화시킨다. 본 연구에서는 대학생들이 느끼는 스트레스가 마음챙김과 삶의 만족감에 미치는 영향 관계를 구조방정식모델을 통해 살펴보았다. 더불어, 학생들의 학년에 따른 스트레스 수준이 삶의 만족감에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과는 학생들의 삶의 만족감을 높이기 위한 스트레스 관리와 마음챙김에 도움을 제공해 줄 것이다.
